Did you know that the Sultanate of Oman overlooks three water bodies (the Arabian Sea, the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman) with over 3,000 kilometres of undulating coastline? Whether you knew this little gem of information or not, one thing is for sure - it's not only the perfect spot for the beach holiday you've been dreaming of, but so much more. Set your compass towards Muscat, the capital of Oman, hemmed by the Arabian Sea and crowned by the Hajar Mountains, to understand why.
The city sprawls- quite literally, given that the buildings are quite low-lying (yes, including the commercial structures.) There's miles of unobstructed sky, and wide, spotless roads - bordered by flora acclimatised to the arid climate - cutting through rocky terrain. It's modern, yes, with a state that enforces its citizens' rights, and invests in their wellbeing through healthcare, education, and housing support. It goes without saying that Muscat is seated in culture. There's no compromising on history or historic value here. All of these factors blend to make a city and a people who are happy, friendly, ecologically conscious and who understand the splendour of their heritage. Is it any wonder that this city is so incredibly hospitable? One hears stories of India's luxury hospitality industry, but, and this is not hyperbole, Muscat is on another level. A few days at the Shangri-La Muscat will validate that statement.
